Chapter 239 Fire Thallium Hero, Act [-]
After that time, Noda Shinji returned to the state of not having any contact with the Fire Thallium Hero.

After that, even if the two sides met several times in school, each time the Fire Thallium Hero was on full alert, Noda Shinji would pass him by without even looking at him.

It's as if they really don't know each other, and they don't even use small tricks.

It seems...whether it was the initial acquaintance between the two parties or the inexplicable reunion and humiliation in the convenience store, they were all false.

But Huo Thallium Hero knew clearly that both of them really happened.

Noda Shinji really found him and vented his malice to him.

The evidence is that his bad friends started coming to harass him from time to time after that time.It seemed that Noda Shinji himself had no interest in coming back, but this did not prevent him from telling the group about the fire thallium.

Causing trouble to others seems to be the hobby of Noda Shinji's current personality.

However, Shinji's group of cunning friends are not courageous guys either.They didn't dare to go too far with Huo Thallium. At most, they only verbally ridiculed and occasionally made things difficult for customers. They only dared to do it in groups, just like a group of hyenas.

After all, everyone in the school knows that although the Fire Thallium Hero is a loner and has an eccentric personality, he is not a good person to bully and relieve his boredom.

——Having a father who is a detective, he has been learning to fight since he was a child. He is really capable and dares to fight.

However, the fire thallium hero himself felt a little frustrated when he thought about having to thank his father in a place like this.

Thus, the entire March of the Huo Thallium Hero passed in an irritable atmosphere.

……

Then, on the first weekend of April, there was an earthquake.

For people living in this country, earthquakes are not a rare thing, and the related responses have been buried in the bone marrow through frequent drills and education since childhood, and have become a habit.

Therefore, after the short-term shaking of the earth basically stopped, the fire thallium hero calmly climbed out from under the table and began to confirm the damage situation.

According to the Meteorological Agency's report, the earthquake's local intensity reached the "six weak" level, which is the third strongest from top to bottom.However, cities under the guidance of the "New Earthquake Resistance" standard can basically cope with disasters of this intensity.

For example, in the home of the hero Huo Thallium, although the violent shaking caused the damage to many items in the home, the wooden structure of the building was able to release stress well, and coupled with the earthquake-proof structural buffer between the foundation and the house, it remained standing.

At this time, through the social platform, Huo Thallium Hero also saw many messages from his classmates - it seems that everyone is in the same situation: shocked, the ground is in a mess, there may be a short-term power outage, and there is no serious problem. .

Then at this moment, he received a call from where Huo Thallium was.

It turned out that Huo Thallium had just received a call for help from Kana Komiya - she was also uninjured, but the doors and windows were deformed due to the earthquake, and she was now locked in the house and unable to get out.

At this time, Huo Thallium, who was hosting a disaster response meeting at the police station and couldn't get out, naturally thought of the hero Huo Thallium.

"Teacher Xiaogong takes good care of our family, right? Now is the time to repay the favor! Act like a man from the Huozhao family, and go!" Huo Zhan said stiffly, and then hung up the phone.

Huo Thallium Hero held the phone a little helplessly.

…Do they want to repay a favor?I want to see you, right?
However, although Huo Thallium usually couldn't help him at all, if it was Kana Komiya's matter, he would definitely help even if Huo Thallium didn't ask.

Shaking his head, he still went out.

Along the way, similar to Huo Thallium's house, most of the citizens' houses were intact, but the furniture and furnishings in the houses were badly damaged.Some of the walls of cement buildings such as shops have fallen off, and occasionally there are joints reserved for earthquake resistance on the building.

Everyone is in order, each cleaning up the mess.

Everything seems to be peaceful.

But when the hero of Fire Thallium rides through the city and looks at these scenes along the way, he always feels a sense of uneasiness that he cannot grasp.

He stopped for a moment by the bridge of the Okawa River, looked at the dry riverbed below and thought for a moment. He still had no clue, so he finally decided to finish the matter with Kana Komiya before thinking about it again.

Not far from the bridge is Kana Komiya's house.

It was a house adjacent to the Dachuan River, built on the other side of the road along the river.Compared with the surrounding neighbors who still have intact appearance, this house looks much miserable.

Looking at the aluminum alloy door frame that was almost screwed up, the fire thallium hero thought for a while, and finally chose to kick it open with violence.

Kana Komiya's scream suddenly came from inside: "Ah——"

"...It's me." Huo Thallium Hero said helplessly.

Komiya Kana took a closer look, then patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she complained: "The door was broken by you, I have to pay the landlord."

"A door is just a small problem." Hero Huo Thallium said nonchalantly, "The bigger problem is, are you sure this house can still be lived in?"

Komiya Kana looked at the wall with thick cracks, and her face turned dark.

This house is relatively old, built around the 70s, and does not meet the "New Earthquake Resistance" standard... However, Kana Komiya originally rented it because he wanted the rent to be cheaper, and felt that he would not be so unlucky to encounter a major earthquake. this house.

Unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson immediately now.

"You'd better go to school and sleep on the floor for a few days." Huo Thallium Hero suggested.

"Well, it seems that we can only live somewhere else." Komiya Kana also replied.

Then she stopped talking and just stared at the fire thallium hero with twinkling eyes.

Blinking wildly, hinting desperately.

"..."

"..."

The fire thallium hero gritted his teeth and refused to die.

Finally, Kana Komiya rolled her eyes and finally stopped pretending: "Hero! Please allow a homeless and weak woman to stay at your house for a few days!"

"I can't say anything about this kind of thing. You go and tell my dad -" Just when he instinctively said the rejection, the hero of Fire Thallium realized with horror that he had said the wrong thing.

Huo Thallium will definitely agree, absolutely... as long as he doesn't go home.Living in an office is a necessary skill for criminal police officers.

In this case, only the Huo Thallium heroes will be sad.

He immediately changed his words: "No, no, no, what I want to say is that a female teacher and a male high school student live under the same roof. Teacher Komiya, are you really not afraid of being complained by the PTA!!"

"Hey... forget it." Komiya Kana temporarily let go of the fire thallium hero, "Anyway, help me pack my luggage first. No matter where you go, you always have to pack your luggage."

Huo Thallium hero hastily agreed.

Then he discovered that this was also a difficult task.

Kana Komiya's large wardrobe was also knocked down - face down...

Moreover, the wardrobe door suddenly slid open just as the Huo Thallium Hero was holding it up halfway.Then a lot of young women's underwear poured down on the young man.

With both hands still supporting the wardrobe, Huo Thallium Hero was forced to hang a piece of underwear on his face. Suddenly his mind went blank and his mind was filled with the scent of underwear.

Komiya Kana didn't seem to care at all.She shouted "Hey!" and helped Huo Thallium Hero to completely straighten the wardrobe. Then she reached out with a natural expression and took off the underwear hanging on Huo Thallium Hero's face.

Then, she simply threw the underwear that had just been hung on the hero's face into her suitcase, then squatted down and continued to sort through the underwear on the floor.

The face of the fire thallium hero was already burning.

He didn't dare to continue looking at the underwear on the floor, but turned his head stiffly and unnaturally to look out the window.

After a while, Komiya Kana's humming voice suddenly stopped.

She sighed leisurely and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to ask the hero's opinion: Regarding having a mother again... will the hero be annoyed?"

The fire thallium hero was stunned for a moment, quickly came to his senses, and said quickly: "I only regard Sister Kana as my sister..."

Then he couldn't help but said angrily: "Can you really stand that man?"

"What is there that you can't stand?" Kana Komiya raised her head and looked at him in surprise, "I usually get along well with heroes, right? Would heroes feel that it's unnatural to get along with me?"

"Not at all..."

"look?"

The fire thallium hero suddenly came to his senses and said disgustedly: "I am different from that man!!"

"Oh?" Kana Komiya said leisurely, "But in the eyes of others, you and Master are very similar, right? You are worthy of being that man's son."

"No! He is the person I hate the most!" The fire thallium hero gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"why?"

"Why else? Doesn't Sister Kana know it all? He gave up on his mother!" Hero Huo Thallium said angrily, "This man has been whispering in my ears since I was a child that justice must prevail... and in the end, his justice... Isn’t that what it’s like? You can’t even save your loved ones!”

After gritting his teeth and finishing speaking, Huo Thallium Hero suddenly felt a strange atmosphere.

Then he turned his head, only to see Kana Komiya had stopped sorting things out and was holding her chin and staring at him in fascination.

"...It's very similar." She said softly with a mysterious smile.

However, Komiya Kana did not intend to speak riddles.Her eyes gradually regained their clarity soon, and then she explained slowly: "Hero, haven't you noticed? Even on this matter, your thoughts are different from those of ordinary people."

"If Master is in that situation, ordinary people would think - ah, why is he so inhumane?"

"And you're thinking - this is not justice."

"...Well, I can only say that you are indeed his son." Komiya Kana clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "It's just that the concepts are different, but they both pursue justice."

The fire thallium hero was speechless: "I——"

"So, why do you like the Masked Sentai series? It's not because Master likes it himself and has taken you to watch it since you were a child." Kana Komiya continued.

The fire thallium hero took a deep breath and finally found a point of rebuttal: "——Don't talk about me first. But Sister Kana, are you a normal person? Why can you still accept such a righteous madman? Don't you think he is inhumane?"

"This is called an idealist." Komiya Kana laughed.

Finally, she said seriously: "Hero, I can feel that he is also in pain... Idealists are not inhumane, they are just better at enduring. Moreover, they even endure for others... This is where idealists shine. place."

"——That's what I like about him."

...He will also be in pain?He will also - the fire thallium hero drives all thoughts out of his mind and refuses to continue thinking.

He just turned his head away vigorously, looked away and said, "Miss Kanai, clean up quickly. This place is no longer safe."

Komiya Kana nodded obediently, said nothing more, and just speeded up packing her luggage.

Soon, Komiya Kana pulled the suitcase and followed the fire thallium hero out of the door that was kicked open.

"Okay, next -" the fire thallium hero breathed out, and just about to relax, he suddenly heard the siren.

- Getting closer and louder.

Huo Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was not the siren from a police car in the distance.It was the sound of air defense sirens that echoed over the entire community.

"The long blast...is it a disaster warning?" Kana Komiya looked up at the speaker on the telephone pole blankly. "Isn't the earthquake over? Could it be an aftershock? But I didn't feel it either."

The fire thallium hero carefully distinguished the sound of the distant police car accompanied by the siren's horn, and said uncertainly: "It seems like... a tsunami warning? The police car's call said that a tsunami is coming soon, and everyone should take refuge in higher places."

"Tsunami?" Kana Komiya took out his mobile phone and scrolled through the news, "Ah, yes...'Due to a magnitude 14 earthquake that occurred in the international waters of the Western Pacific at 46:9.0...a tsunami warning was issued for this prefecture...the estimated height It is about 6 meters high...Please evacuate as soon as possible.'"

"Six meters?" The fire thallium hero couldn't imagine, "What is that concept?"

"I don't know, I come from the mountains! Isn't the hero a local?"

"Ah, but I have never encountered anything like this since I was born..."

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Kana Komiya touched her head in confusion: "But I remember that there is a breakwater outside the bay. And it is almost two kilometers away from the sea. It should be safe... right?"

The fire thallium hero was about to answer and moved his lips, but realized that he was hearing more and more unpleasant sounds.

- Air raid sirens.

——The sound of roaring water like a waterfall.

——For some reason, the anti-theft alarms of countless vehicles are connected together.But there was just no voice.And the latter two voices, as if being chased by something, crushed towards this block.

The fire thallium hero raised his head and looked into the distance along the downstream direction of the Dachuan River at the door.

Then he shivered violently.

He saw it.

What makes the roaring sound is the waves.

From the end of the river several kilometers away, a black wave surged over.

But it was not just a wave, because its height was higher than the river bed and even higher than the bridge in the distance.It is like a huge fluffy cream covering the river bed, a semi-solidified and surging black mud. On the surface, there are also fragments of countless buildings floating like armor, just like this, pouring out from a distance of several kilometers away. Come over.

The speed of the water body is not fast, and it is catching up with the car in front of it.

But its size is everything.It has no left and right edges, only a front edge that extends forward.

Wherever it goes, it instantly overflows down the embankment and rushes down the river. It quickly smoothes out all the differences in height and swallows the road next to it into its body.

The fire thallium hero suddenly realized where the uneasiness he had never thought of before came from.

The uneasiness comes from the water.The drying up of the Okawa River is just a precursor to the tsunami.

The uneasiness comes from people.He saw many houses along the way, but there were actually very few people repairing them.Where have most of the people gone?In fact, I received a tsunami warning early in the morning and went to evacuate.

And only a few people...a few people like him and Kana Komiya, who had no tsunami experience at all, were still slowly repairing the house and packing their luggage in the city.

The last thing that the fire thallium hero thought of was-where is the Red Warrior?
The red warrior who always follows him...has disappeared since he left the house.Where is the Red Warrior now?
Some kind of spiritual guidance made the fire thallium hero raise his head and suddenly turn to the distance in another direction.

He saw it - hundreds of meters away, on the top floor of the four-story reinforced concrete teaching building of the community primary school, the man wearing a conspicuous red mask was waving his arms toward him as hard as he could, as if expecting him to see him.

"Ah——" Komiya Kana finally made a sound.

She also saw the tsunami rushing along the river bed in the distance, and made a trembling sound that represented confusion.

The fire thallium hero woke up with a start and pulled Kana Komiya hard: "Run!!"

Komiya Kana staggered and hurriedly followed behind, shouting as he ran: "Where are you going?"

"Height! A cement building that won't be washed away! School!" Huo Thall pointed ahead and yelled.

Then, the two of them started running wildly on the street, running towards the elementary school on the slope in front of them, away from the river.

The hero of the fire thallium ran faster. He looked back at Kana Komiya from time to time, fearing that she would not be able to keep up or fall down.

In this way, while looking back again and again, he watched the bottom of the slope being submerged by the black sea surge that finally arrived.

The black surge with large and small building fragments floating on the surface finally reached the bridge head, rushed down the embankment, and hit the guardrail below with huge energy. It exploded like a burst of white water and quickly flooded the road. .

They were running on the upper end of the ramp, while the tsunami continued to rise at the bottom of the ramp, and came from other forks to flood the ramp.

In the place where the fire thallium hero had just ran, an old man had just walked out of the house slowly and looked around - the next moment, the flood came from the left and right, washing in from two branches up and down the old man's position.

In just a blink of an eye, the old man was trapped on the only piece of ground surrounded by floods.

And as the water quickly washed away, the water level under his feet was suddenly submerged up to his ankles.

The old man tried to climb up the steps on the street, but the next moment, the next wave of torrent carrying cars and houses rushed over, erasing his existence in the blink of an eye...

The hero of Fire Thallium only saw the old man's stunned expression in his last glance.

He gritted his teeth and simply turned back and grabbed Komiya Kana's arm, pulling her to run with him.

Finally, as the ramp gradually rose, the rising speed of the tsunami below also slowed down.The gap between the two and Heishui gradually widened.

But Huo Thallium Hero's mood was not relaxed at all.

He now knows what "six meters" is.

The so-called six-meter-high tsunami is not a six-meter-high wave.It was not a wall of water that was high but thin and could be ignored as long as you rushed over it - it was the sea level of the entire sea that had risen by six meters!

In other words, any place below six meters, whether it is a city or a county, will be swallowed up by the tsunami.

The only safe place was the high place that would not be washed away—that is, where the Red Warrior, who was still waving at him vigorously to guide him, sat—on the fourth floor of the solid reinforced concrete teaching building.

Three minutes later, they finally rushed into the elementary school campus and climbed to the top floor along the external stairs.

Kana Komiya was completely exhausted and lay down on the floor.

Only then did the Fire Thallium Hero feel a little more at ease, and he could pant on the roof of the building and watch the surging torrent below.

The farthest distance is completely covered with water, with water bodies glowing under the sky.From the horizon, there is another white "wall" coming over, that is the next wave of tsunami.

Slightly closer, several black mud-like bodies of water were converging from different sources.The black water easily drives white "flocks" hundreds of meters long: countless complete houses, countless cars, and ships that have been pushed off their foundations.

Humanity's white creations burned on the water, forced into crowded queues, driven together by the power of black nature, and then mixed into countless fragments whose original appearance was indistinguishable.

The fire thallium hero suddenly realized that Zeguo in the distance was originally a city area.

What he saw now was the exact process of wiping out the entire city before the tsunami.

When he thought of this, he suddenly had difficulty breathing.

…The police station is a six-story concrete building, and Dad will be fine.The fire thallium hero continued to look closer while thinking silently in his heart.

The tsunami has submerged to the outside of the playground.

The fire thallium hero made an estimate while looking down at his feet - then his heart beat hard and his eyes froze.

——Because the roar of the waterfall-like water body, the sound of sirens, and the sound of the vehicle's anti-theft alarm, the mixture has become a background sound that is used to the fire... so he did not hear the cry for help that was covered in it.

At the bottom of the external stairs he just ran up, the iron door at the entrance to the first floor was locked at some point.

Now, there are three refugees standing in front of the iron gate.While they looked back in horror at the approaching tsunami, they banged on the iron door desperately and shouted at the top of their lungs.

The fire thallium hero turned around without hesitation and planned to run downstairs.

There is still time.

It would take a minute or two before the tsunami completely flooded the playground. He had enough time to go down and open the iron door, allowing these people to come up and take refuge——

The fire thallium hero suddenly stumbled - a foot suddenly stretched out from behind him, tripping him.

The fire thallium hero stabilized his body, looked back instinctively, and then was stunned.

——It’s Shinji Noda.

He hugged his shoulders and still had a bad smile on his face, but he was accompanied by two gangsters wearing vests with tattoos exposed and holding unsheathed daggers.

"Huo Thallium, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't have time to talk to you." Huo Thall said impatiently, planning to turn back and continue rushing towards the stairs.

But again, he stopped.

Komiya Kana's scream came from behind.

The Fire Hero gritted his teeth and looked back again, seeing Kana Komiya being held hostage by the two gang members.

Noda Shinji was holding the wakizashi on Komiya Kana's neck.

... Shinji Noda seemed to want to prove that he was serious. Before the fire thallium hero spoke, he had already exerted a little force, causing blood to flow from Kana Komiya's neck.

"I locked the door." Noda Shinji said straight to the point, "Do you want to open it and rescue those people?... That's okay, but Teacher Komiya will be dead, right?"

Komiya Kana's eyes were horrified, her lips were trembling and she was speechless.

The fire thallium hero turned his head and looked downstairs again.

The flood has reached the middle of the market.

Some of the three evacuees had already given up and turned around and rushed towards the other side of the playground, as if they wanted to go around to the gymnasium over there.

But in just a blink of an eye, he was overtaken by the torrent and swallowed up.

The fire thallium hero once again tried to rush away.

But once again, before he could take a step, Komiya Kana's scream stopped him again.

Noda Shinji stabbed the wakizashi into Komiya Kana's arm like lightning,
The fire thallium hero had to stop.He closed his eyes and held his breath hard, but in the end he couldn't help but roar angrily from his chest and abdomen.

Noda Shinji chuckled: "You should save the people below, right? Because this must be justice... Go ahead!!"

Of course, the Fire Thallium Hero can no longer go.

He just grabbed the fence and stared downstairs.Seeing the remaining two people shouting in front of the door, they seemed to be even more desperate, and the movements of knocking on the door gradually became slower.

Noda Shinji continued to whisper in his ear: "But... what if you have to sacrifice those close to you?"

It's amazing.Noda Shinji's whisper seemed to have a snake-like hiss, and despite the noisy background sound, it could be clearly heard in the ears of the fire thallium hero.

"How would you choose?"

"Your father will definitely choose to rush forward without looking back. Since you despise him, you will definitely choose the people around you without hesitation?
"For the people around you, it doesn't matter if others die. That's what's right."

"...then why are you suffering now?"

The fire thallium hero gritted his teeth and held on to the fence, unable to answer.

The torrent arrives.

The two people struggled at the end, trying to climb up the iron gate.

But the flood that came over only washed away them for a moment, and the two people disappeared from the iron gate.

Then in the next three seconds, the black wave quickly flooded the entire first floor.Its huge body continued to drive the "sheep", surging under the teaching building and continuing its march.

There is no trace of those two people anywhere.

Seeing the changes in these few seconds, Huo Thallium Hero felt as if he had been slapped hard.

He was dizzy for a moment, his lips were trembling, and his nose and tears also washed away.

He turned around completely and howled like a wild animal: "——Shenji! What on earth do you want to do!!!"

Noda Shinji was still smiling easily.

"That's the answer from last time." Then he stopped laughing and said seriously, "Didn't you ask last time, what is true justice? I am answering you now.

Noda Shinji pointed to the torrent outside: "Think about the situation you were in just now.

"If you choose the justice of 'protecting your loved ones', you are choosing the injustice of 'killing the innocent'. On the other hand, choosing 'protecting the innocent' is also 'killing your loved ones'.

"...That is to say, no matter how you choose, you are unrighteous.

"How come there is such a dilemma?
"Or -" Noda Shinji slowed down, "If justice really exists, how can it allow this dilemma to continue to exist?

"Isn't that a conclusion?

"...The so-called justice is just a scam, it does not exist at all. Therefore, it cannot stop evil.

"What you and your father, and those other boring people, are pursuing is a false phantom.

Finally, Noda Shinji smiled and raised a finger: "It is difficult to prove that something is right. But to prove that it is wrong, you only need to give a counterexample...Proof, complete."
